Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13 NLT

Today is Father’s Day! We recognize and remember our fathers. Our fathers love us with an everlasting love. A special blessing to every father, dad, daddy, pop, pa, or whatever name we call them. I hope this day finds you surrounded and celebrated by family and friends.

Fathers are…

Faithful to love, comfort, and encourage us; always picking us up when we fall.

And the one we come to when we are hurt or troubled, our fathers are our ”catch-all.”

Teachers in life; instructing and guiding, coaching and caring, modeling their best.

Hopeful, always wanting the best for us, always praying we’ll be happy and blessed.

Endlessly loving us, faithfully cheering us on to try, to endure, and to flourish.

Rest, calming our worries, soothing our fears, healing our hurts, proving we are cherished.

Selfless, giving us the very best of themselves to help us become the very best we can be.
